This program was amazing! My granddaughter bonded with the other girls on the trip and still raves about the trip months later. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, strict about safety, personable, caring, smart and FUN! He is an excellent teacher and had a way of keeping us unified and everyone participating in discussions. Best trip ever!

We did a grandparent/ grandchild ( teen)trip to Paris. I could not imagine a more perfect trip to share with our grandson. Our group was small and welcoming. The teens got to know each other and that added to the fun of each days adventures. We had a very knowledgeable guide and historian who made our travels easy and brought the sights to life. Paris is a city of lights, but also Life! This trip brought strangers together for a week and in these moments in time we all enjoyed the sights, the food, the travel and each other. This was a bonding experience for us and our teen grandson. We felt sad when those magical moments were left behind, but we plan to find another trip together and create more magical moments with our Grandson and of course the best travel company, Road Scholar.

WE had a fantastic experience taking our two teenage granddaughter to Paris in the Road Scholars program designed specifically for teens and their grandparents. We highly recommend this fun way to learn, explore, and grow closer together! The guide instructors were extremely well prepared and fun to be with, our granddaughters are inspired to travel abroad again, and we are all now blessed with shared memories for a lifetime!

This was once in a lifetime chance to explore Paris with my grandson. Chris and Fred made the trip easy, comfortable and extremely interesting.
We both had a wonderful time. If at all possible, find and trip and share the joy of travel with your grandchildren.

What a great introduction to Paris! The program was lively & covered so much about the city’s history & culture, but without overwhelming us. The teens soon became comfortable with the metro & enjoyed their free time at cafés, as did the grandparents. Without a doubt, this is a great Paris experience for teens & grandparents.

Excellent and interesting programs and a great opportunity to make memories with our teenaged grandchildren. The program was very well designed for both the teens and the grandparents alike.

Honestly do not know where to begin, this trip was simply amazing! What a treat for every grandchild and grandparent. This trip was well organized and made learning fun. Our tour guides/educators were beyond fabulous - knowledgeable, entertaining and so very patient with each of us. My granddaughter had chosen Paris for her "special trip" and you have managed to make this a memorable trip for her. We experienced Paris as it should be experienced in everyway possible within the timeframe allotted. I cannot thank Fred Vignot and Marianne Csizmadia enough for their knowledge, patience and kindness bestowed upon our grandchildren and us, the grandparents. Thank you again for making this trip possible and amazing.

This was our first Road Scholar trip and it was a 10 out of 10. We will be back--both for ourselves and for another trip with our teenage granddaughter

This was a trip of a lifetime for the teenagers and grandparents! Time together, time apart, and a city filled with wonders to behold. Whether new to Paris or a repeat visitor there were lots of new things to view and try. Dipping and molding chocolate under the direction of a chocolate chef was a fun new experience and we got to eat the candies we made! The tour guides and art expert were very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of handling the logistics of our lively group! Many thanks to Road Scholar for offering such a wonderful tour!

This program was exceptional, with each day offering a unique and enriching experience. I highly recommend this tour for teenagers as it provides the opportunity to forge new friendships and share unforgettable experiences about Paris and the French culture.

This program was a good balance of activities to engage the teenagers as well as the grandparents. Our group leader Audrey was fantastic! The hotel was comfortable and near Metro and restaurants/shops. Paris was understandably crowded pre-Olympics, but being part of the RS group meant we didn't wait in long lines or have much trouble getting into the top tourist sites. It was well done.
This trip really is "Let's Go." There is a LOT of walking and stairs. I wish we had had a little more unstructured time to explore or rest as needed. Free time was an hour or two at a time throughout the week, with several days starting in the early morning and ending in the late evening.
I would recommend the trip; it has all the benefits that RS is known for, plus some unique experiences and activities for the teens. Tres bien!

Our guide Audrey was amazing as she was entertaining and informative. She managed 20 of us off and on the metro and through the sights with ease. You won't forget this trip with your grandchild.

I have taken three trips with RS. I will never travel with any other travel company. It is the very best.

Teenagers in Paris is a perfect trip for the two generations to spend valuable time together experiencing the world from their different perspectives. This trip will provide a lasting memory of France and create a special bond between grandparent and grandchild.

Our grandchild (teens) and grandparent trip to Paris was absolutely outstanding in every way and exceeded my high expectations--great learning, engaging fun for the teens and the grandparents, exciting urban adventure in a very special city with very well-designed trips out of the city, remarkably congenial participants and truly special trip directors (Fred and Audrey). The experience opened minds and hearts--who could ask for more?

This was a wonderful way to spend time with my granddaughter! Plus, there's the bonus of having other kids her own age to be with which added so much to her experience. Fred was a fantastic guide and Audrey was so organized. The trip exceeded our expectations!

This was a wonderful program, most especially because of our knowledgeable, energetic, and interesting guide Fred, and our organized and unflappable leader Audrey. The itinerary was packed, and included enough free time for individual interests.

We loved getting a chance to see and learn about so much of Paris with our granddaughter. She had never left the US before this, but was a metro expert by the time we left (a good skill to have) and ready to travel again. Road scholar does a great job of providing unique experiences, like having an outstanding dinner at a local family's home. Dream vacation!

This was my first experience with a Grandparent/Grandchild trip. I was a little apprehensive about a group of teenagers and my own elderly contemporaries. But we all had a wonderful time. There were a couple of times that the teens had a different activity and that worked well. My granddaughter and I had a very special week together and made new friends.

In addition to being charismatic, our guide, Christopher Roche, was the best guide we've ever had on any group trip we've done.

For my 15-year-old granddaughter and me, this was a "trip of a lifetime." We liked the people, the well-located hotel, fresh and delicious food, perfectly-paced itinerary, and the Road Scholar leader, Christopher, with his encyclopedic knowledge of "all things French," impressive organizational skills, impeccable people skills, and terrific sense of humor!

Outstanding program about Paris exceptionally well suited for the 14-17 year old teenager. Great mix of sights and activities to keep them engaged. Accommodations, food, pace and instructors were wonderful. Adults also learned a lot. It exceeded expectations for us as well as our granddaughter!

This was a wonderful trip for both myself and my granddaughter. We had the added treat of celebrating her birthday on Bastille day at the home of Monet. I cannot say enough about our guides Fredrick and Susanna. They were absolutely phenomenal both in their knowledge and delivery of info and their ability to make everyone on the tour feel welcomed and special! I had the added difficulties associated with hearing impairment and a gluten free diet. They went all out to accommodate my issues. Be advised that when they say this trip is “on the go”, they mean it. But at the end you will feel that you really know Paris!

Can grandparents and teens share a week in Paris and both benefit from the experience in a variety of ways? Absolutely! Road Scholar is one way to do it. The kids connect, the grandparents connect and the different generations connect. We all enjoy and learn in new ways without a lot of personal hassle of arranging things ourselves. Recommended.

A non-stop adventure from early morning to 10 pm most days. A comprehensive tour of Paris. The hotel is right in the heart of one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Paris. Excellent food and wine throughout the week. Pick another trip if you are not up to walking 5-6 miles per day.

Honestly do not know where to begin, this trip was simply amazing! What a treat for every grandchild and grandparent. This trip was well organized and made learning fun. Our tour guides/educators were beyond fabulous. Knowledgeable, entertaining and so very patient with each of us on this vacation. My granddaughter has dreamed of visiting Paris for as long as I can remember and you have managed to make this a memorable trip for her. I am so delighted to have discovered Road Scholar and to be able to show my Ella Paris as it should be seen. I cannot thank Frederick Vignot and Brigitte Young enoough for their knowledge, patience and kindness bestowed upon our grandchildren and us, the grandparents. Thank you again for making this trip possible, amazing and I look forward to traveling with Road Scholar again. Sincerely,
Marguerite Michaelson
